Giancarlo Stanton Remains Out Of Lineup Sunday

New York Yankees designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton (quad) is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles.

Gary Sanchez Collects Two RBI In Victory

New York Yankees catcher Gary Sanchez went 1-for-4 with two RBI and a walk in Saturday's 8-2 win over the Orioles. Sanchez helped the New York offense get off to a good start, as he drove in a pair in his first at-bat of the day on a base hit, which registered an exit velocity […]

Luke Voit Drives In Two Saturday

New York Yankees first baseman Luke Voit enjoyed his best game since returning from the injured list in Saturday's win over the Orioles. Voit collected a pair of singles, scoring a run in the first inning, then driving in a pair on his second hit of the night. The slugger registered an exit velocity of […]

Aaron Judge Homers In Second Straight Game

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer and a walk in Saturday's 8-2 victory over Baltimore. Judge's home run was a more quiet one by Statcast standards, as it traveled 385 feet at an exit velocity of 96.6 MPH. Still, it's his third home run in the last two games- […]

Domingo German Superb In Third Victory

New York Yankees starting pitcher Domingo German authored another excellent outing in Saturday's 8-2 win over the Orioles. German pitched six innings of one-run ball, allowing four hits and a pair of walks while striking out six. The 28-year-old was missing bats all night, as he generated 19 whiffs, 11 of them on his curveball. […]

Miguel Sano Hits Go-Ahead Three-Run Homer

Minnesota Twins first/third baseman Miguel Sano went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Saturday's win over Oakland.

Jose Berrios Allows Four Runs In No-Decision

Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Jose Berrios didn't have his best stuff in Saturday's no-decision against the Athletics. Berrios pitched seven innings, allowing four runs on seven hits while fanning six batters. Despite the relatively rough line, the 26-year-old gave the Twins length, as his seven innings were the longest he'd gone in a start all […]

Gleyber Torres Still Testing Positive

New York Yankees shortstop Gleyber Torres is still testing positive for COVID-19, per manager Aaron Boone. The Yankees expressed optimism on Friday that Torres would be able to return sooner than the standard 10-day quarantine period- though it can't happen until he accumulates a couple of negative tests. Tyler Wade will continue to handle the […]

Aaron Hicks Absent From Saturday's Lineup

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Hicks (wrist) is not in Saturday's lineup for the contest against the Orioles. Hicks was diagnosed with a torn tendon sheath in his left wrist, an injury that could potentially sideline him on the injured list- or be resolved rather quickly. Hopefully, Hicks' situation is more like the latter- something […]

Giancarlo Stanton Not In Saturday's Lineup

New York Yankees designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton (quad) is absent from Saturday's lineup for the game against the Orioles. Stanton will miss his second straight game after he was scratched from Friday's lineup due to left quad tightness, though manager Aaron Boone had noted the slugger could miss a day or two. Stanton's next chance […]

Jose Abreu To Return Saturday Or Sunday

Chicago White Sox first baseman Jose Abreu (face) is campaigning to play in Saturday's game against the Royals, per manager Tony La Russa. Abreu won't be allowed to suit up without a final medical evaluation, which would then give La Russa the green light to pencil him in. The veteran first baseman was involved in […]

Andrew Benintendi Sitting Against Southpaw

Kansas City Royals outfielder Andrew Benintendi is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the White Sox. Benintendi is taking a seat on the bench with left-hander Carlos Rodon on the mound for Chicago.

Jose Urquidy To Miss Next Start

Houston Astros starting pitcher Jose Urquidy (shoulder) is not expected to pitch in the upcoming series against the Athletics, per manager Dusty Baker. Urquidy was forced to leave his most recent start early with a shoulder injury, though the MRI revealed no significant damage. Still, it's something that is bothering the 25-year-old enough that he […]

Mitch Moreland Not In Saturday's Lineup Due To Side Tightness

Oakland Athletics first baseman Mitch Moreland (side) is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Twins due to side tightness. Moreland was forced to leave Friday's game due to the issue, with manager Bob Melvin noting that it's "still a little bit sore." The veteran first baseman is getting treatment today, though he […]

Yordan Alvarez To Get Day Off Sunday

Houston Astros outfielder/designated hitter Yordan Alvarez is in the lineup for Saturday's game but is expected to get the day off on Sunday.

Joey Gallo Back In The Lineup

Texas Rangers outfielder Joey Gallo (hamstring) is back in the lineup for Saturday's contest against the Astros. Gallo missed a game due to minor soreness in his hamstring, though it was never believed to be a serious issue, as evidenced by his quick return. The slugger will bat cleanup against Astros' right-hander Luis Garcia. After […]

Sean Murphy Sitting Saturday

Oakland Athletics catcher Sean Murphy will get the day off on Saturday. Murphy is 3-for-10 in his last three contests with two extra-base hits, including a home run. He should be back out there for Sunday's contest. Aramis Garcia will be behind the plate Saturday and bat ninth.

Mike Moustakas Absent From Saturday's Lineup

Cincinnati Reds infielder Mike Moustakas (heel) is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Rockies. Moustakas has been banged up lately, as he was forced to leave each of his last two contests due to shoulder and heel issues, though he is expected to be fine moving forward. He'll rest on Saturday and […]

Nick Senzel Remains Out Saturday

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Nick Senzel (heel) is out of the lineup once again on Saturday. Senzel had to leave Thursday's game early after colliding with the outfield wall- he was later deemed day-to-day by the team. Tyler Naquin will start in center field and bat third. Fantasy managers should expect Senzel to return in the […]

Zack Britton Throws Simulated Game

New York Yankees relief pitcher Zack Britton (elbow) threw a simulated game to Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRider hitters on Saturday afternoon. It's the first time that Britton, who had bone chips in his pitching elbow, faced live hitters since his surgery in March.

Jake Cave Placed On 60-Day Injured List

Minnesota Twins outfielder Jake Cave (back) was placed on the 60-day injured list on Saturday.

Manager Rocco Baldelli said that the 28-year-old had been playing through back soreness and that it […]

Estevan Florial Moved Up To Triple-A

New York Yankees outfielder Estevan Florial was promoted to the team's Triple-A site on Friday. Florial has gotten off to a hot start at the dish for the Yankees' Double-A affiliate, clubbing four home runs in his first nine games played. The 23-year-old has only played a couple of weeks above A-ball due to injuries […]

Jake Cave Dealing With Back Injury

Minnesota Twins outfielder Jake Cave (back) is dealing with a stress reaction in his lower back. Cave was unavailable on Friday night and will be re-evaluated on Saturday- though it certainly sounds like a stint on the injured list could be in the cards. The veteran outfielder has posted a .501 OPS with a 35:6 […]

Josh Donaldson Swats Fourth Homer

Minnesota Twins third baseman Josh Donaldson went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 6-1 loss to the Athletics.
